Interesting. Particularly liked his response to the Sporting Director question - all made perfect sense to me.

Particularly liked his response to the Sporting Director question - all made perfect sense to me.Excellent stuff.Reassuring that promotion is not essential and good to hear that the owners saying that they want attractive football as results can never be guaranteed.And to hear that they are very ambitious but it's a sad indictiment on the Premiership that he thinks the top 6 are fixed for some time.
The proof will be in the results over a much larger sample size and over many years. However what feels much better now is that our two owners are legitimately loaded. Not like Lerner which was in large part an inheritance and locked away in a family trust, and Xia where we didn’t actually know what he had and in the end it wasn’t much at all. And as for Purslow he’s worked at big clubs in a similar capacity unlike Round or Fox who never has before. And then add in Pitarch who again has worked at big clubs in Europe it’s a combined wealth of experience and proven business competence we’ve actually not had before.
I’ve been saying this for years but the whole thing stands or falls on who they appoint as manager
